Storytelling for Change: The "PASADENA" Documentary

Our journey into community engagement is marked by powerful storytelling. With our sponsorship of "PASADENA: Exploring Solutions To Reduce Gang Violence," we shine a light on the critical issues facing our neighborhoods. This documentary film ventures deep into the challenges and triumphs of fighting gang violence, offering a platform for voices that resonate with urgency and hope. It's more than a film; it's a call to action, inviting everyone to partake in the dialogue and solutions that pave the way for peace. Watch the full-length film at https://www.madeindena.com/documentary.


Unleashing Creativity: Empowering Youth with Art

At the core of our mission is the belief in the transformative power of creativity. Through our free youth t-shirt workshops, we open a world of expression and opportunity for the younger generation. These workshops are not just about designing t-shirts; they're about igniting dreams, honing skills, and instilling a sense of accomplishment in the hearts of our youth. It's where art meets aspiration, and every creation is a testament to the boundless potential within. Check it out for yourself at MADE IN DENA Workshops.


In addition to our interactive workshops, we also provide valuable 1-on-1 mentorship to many young people and adults throughout our community as well. This is an opportunity for those who are really interested in creating a clothing company to gain valuable experience and insight into the business side of creating a successful clothing line or brand. We understand the value and economic impact of possessing a skill that can turn one's imagination into a tangible product, and by teaching virtually anyone who wants to learn, we are opening doors to economic empowerment and self-expression. Our guidance focuses on the entire lifecycle of a clothing brand, from ideation, design, production, to the intricacies of branding, marketing, and sales. We strongly believe in the power of mentorship to transform lives and communities by providing the tools, knowledge, and support needed to navigate the competitive world of fashion. Our goal is not just to teach, but to inspire action, encourage resilience, and foster a community of innovative thinkers and doers. By investing our time and resources into the next generation of entrepreneurs, we are contributing to a more vibrant, diverse, and sustainable local economy.



Dressing the Future: The Gift of MADE IN DENA Apparel

Our commitment to uplifting spirits extends to the clothing we share with our community. By donating MADE IN DENA apparel to those in need, we clothe more than bodies; we clothe souls in dignity and pride.

It's our way of wrapping our neighbors in support and solidarity, one garment at a time.
